If Microsoft got to keep its monopoly, web designers would keep using MS-only features making it harder and harder for Firefox to do well. Its true that things aren't going to be quite as nice with Firefox... eg. people are begining to figure out how to sneak past the popup blocker. However, more and more sites are also begining to take Firefox compatibility seriously, now that its in the spotlight. I've noticed a couple of sites I use had annoying glitches with Firefox that they didn't fix for a long time... I even e-mailed them a patch to their CSS that would fix it. However, when Firefox got all the press attention after 1.0 the bugs were suddenly fixed within a few days.
So its a tradeoff, I guess. We're going to have an arms race on our hand when it comes to popup blockers and such, but a lot more sites will fall in line.
Like any other modern OS, Windows finds pages that are in memory but haven't been used in a long time and writes them out to disk. In most cases it will mark the pages but won't actually evict them. If they get used, it simply unmarks them, if not the next time someone allocates lots of memory there is a ready pool of pages that can be used.
Its a tradeoff between extra disk activity when the system is idle or finding, writing and evicting pages when you actually need them. The former might result in some pages getting written out that didn't need to be, but the latter will result in extra work in the critical path.
Most of their lawsuits are John Doe lawsuits, meaning they have evidence that copyright infringement is being committed, from what IP at what time etc., but not who the human behind it is. They can only find that info after they filing a suit so that they can subpoena the information from ISPs.
How can they say that they've been monitoring for 9 months, and then state that it has 278% year over year growth?
You can't. Maybe that's why they dont! So now you can just make stuff up, refute it, and get modded insightful?
Besides, my web site had 1000% growth, I went from me viewing it to a few relatives looking at a picture I put up from them (40% female, 60% male), so, obviously, my website is faster growing that firefoxes!
The problem is that it dramatically depletes the ozone layer, increasing the UV exposure, not that the radiation kills everyone. Why do Slashdotters think they're smarter than everyone and that they can read a 1 paragraph summary and critique the research someone has spent years working on?
Reading that post made it clearer than anything else that the terrorists have won. If people are no longer thinking in terms of making progress or doing what needs to be done, but in terms of every remote attack that could be launched, everything's going to come to a grinding halt. Not in destroying America phyisically, but if we go down this path too long, we would certainly have stagnated and become obsolete to the poin where America's influence in the world goes the way of the Roman empire.
1. Wall clocls, watches and alarm clocks use and extremely small current 2. You don't keep the radio on all the time 3. You don't used your 5 different electronic toys all the time 4. You don't keep your flashlight on all the time 5. You don't use alkaline batteries in your cellphone 6. I strongly doubt that your answering machine uses batteries, but if it does, it uses and extremely small current except the ocassional periods when it's actually recording.
Thanks for your guess, but you're dead wrong. You really don't even have to RTFA. The/. blurb is enough. These are replacements for ALKALINE batteries. They are not rechargable. Really, do people just respond by reading the headline now, and even reading the summary is too much work?
I've given up on asking people to read the article. But is it really too much to even read the post? One is a rundown test, where you continuously drain the battery. Most real devices aren't used that way.
their issues were with pharmaceutical patents Incidentally, India just passed a law that addressed those issues. Whether that makes things better or worse is for you to decide for yourself.
Firstly, its not just linus, but every developer with write access to the repository who will have to pay. Guess what that'll do to the contribution levels?
Secondly, have you considered that now that its no longer free to run bitkeeper, maybe that tips the balance in favor of some other versioning system?
Finally, I realize you're going for a cheap laugh, but bread and milk are already free as in freedom. Recipes for bread are widely available, and you can always get your own cow. However, bitkeeper was never free as in freedom, so that's irrelevant.
Like another person pointed out, your grocery store never gave you free milk and bread and then decided that they won't anymore because you wouldn't fire and employee that was making bread in his free time.
No they aren't poor. You're just a fool who doesn't realize that some words have more than one meaning, and belong to a class of fools who keep making that stupid argument.
That is something they most certainly would plan on doing once they return to the space capsule.
Moreover, once you have a permanent base, thing are going to get that much worse. It is extraordinarily hard to keep micron-sized particles out completely whenever you enter and exit the airlock.
It very much is piracy, because every major dictionary lists "Committing copyright infringement, eg. software piracy" as one of the definitions of piracy. Saying copying software is like attacking a ship may be OK for a cheap laugh in RMS's talk, but people like you need to stop taking that joke too seriously.
Do you deny that the website contains information about Bosley Medical? It may not be the kind of information they want you to know, but the site is very much on topic.
Because he want's to say that it's not proof would simply mean that the original author's proposition was unproven. What the submitter was trying to say, though, is that the success of MySQL and Postgres prove the opposite.

If by "sarcasm flying over your head" you mean YOUR head, then you're right.

Yes, that's true. What's your point?
Looks like you figured out how to click on a hyperlink and read the article!

I'm getting 351 kB/sec right now... how fast are you going?
You might want to learn to spell correctly and use proper grammar before trying to act too clever.

Not to complain about my own posts being modded up, but INFORMATIVE?!
You mean nucular rockets, right?

A browser that follows standards! The HORROR.
What the HELL are you rambling on about? That's got to be a new record for the most incoherent message ever.
